Here's my question, and I definitely do not mean for it to be confined to any particular religion:

What present/s did you get (or give yourself) for your upcoming Camino, whenever that may be?

I gave myself a Garmin InReach Mini. And a new butt pack.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

I've found people really love to give you something that you'll use everyday when walking. I guess it's because, when packing light, you treasure every item. And I adore being reminded of them when using even the most mundane items of kit.
But there's definitely things you need to gift yourself and I've just had my Navigo Easy (contactless Paris metro card) delivered. Buying through a French website (and not trusting Google Translate for online shops) is not a task I wanted to inflict on others.
Oh. And new quick-dry pink knickers!
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I gave myself a new waist pack too! I'm still working on finding the prefect shoe though. 🤔🤔

I got a gorgeous silk sleep sack system that @trecile made for Christmas from my wife.

I was looking for a pair of short winter boots on Boxing Day and found these Keen sandals that only cost me $65cdn as they were in the discounted racks. A true find and exactly what I wanted to wear at the end of each walking day. I walked out of the store with the biggest grin and felt like a little girl ❤️

You won't regret those! I took them on my last hot-weather camino and they were great. Good for walking in, cute enough for dinner or museum entry...

Amazing find. They are usually twice the price or more and they they were my size. If you ever saw the IKEA commercial where the lady is running out of the store with the receipt in her hand and screams out « Start the car » …well I felt like doing the same lol
